Description
Fly Type: This is a subsurface crustacean/shrimp imitation, designed for use in saltwater fishing. The fly has a realistic, yet "buggy" profile.
Best Suited For: An excellent fly for targeting bonefish and other predatory fish in shallow water. It is a proven pattern for bonefish and can also be used for permit.
Best Time to Fish: This fly is effective year-round in tropical climates. The brown/tan color is an excellent choice over sandy bottoms and in clear water.
Water Type: A classic saltwater fly, designed for tropical environments.
Best Location: It works best on sandy flats, in shallow lagoons, and near mangrove edges where bonefish are foraging.
Other Value: The key to this fly's success is its lifelike form and appearance. The fly is tied to have a curved and bulky profile, which is a perfect imitation of a small crustacean swimming or crawling. The best way to fish it is with a slow, erratic retrieve and frequent pauses to mimic an insect moving along the bottom.
